Yep, streaming is dead to me.
Here's a hot take:
You can just cancel services you aren't using, until you want to watch something they have.
I used to do this but I honestly got tired with the swapping. Just dumped them all.
How much effort does this? Most services are a couple of clicks or like me, use a digital debit card and prepaid only what you need.
Or just subscribe and cancel it right away (almost the same screen). You take more time looking at what to watch than to switch services.
People lose money because this companies know they are lazy.
Here, we have 1 at a time.
But we dont watch anything on a daily basis
I did, i cancelled everything lol
